Snake Removal 12 years in Melbourne.
Another very busy Snake season across Melbourne’s Northern and Eastern suburbs. Numbers have been on par and above previous years. I think its to do with people knowing the Snake Removal procedure when a snake is sighted. Also people are becoming more environmentally and ethically aware. Most customers care about the environment. They realize every living thing is important in a healthy ecosystem.
You can see the standard Snake Sighting procedure on the first page of this website.
Snake on my property – What to do?
The usual species have been active. Tiger Snakes taking 1st position, Eastern Brown no 2 and closely followed by the good old Copperhead. So nothing out of the ordinary. I really enjoyed this year and got to meet some interesting people and had some equally memorable captures.

This is my 12th year as a Melbourne Snake Catcher undertaking Snake Removal. In that time I have learnt a lot through trial and error. In particular snakes habits, what they are likely to do and the way they behave. Generally snakes behaviour is quite predictable, however, sometimes they can be puzzling. Catching and handling snakes in the wild and in suburbia is a lot different to dealing snakes in captivity. Most wild snakes encountered in Melbourne backyards are adult. They have honed their skills in survival and are generally good at avoiding detection. Quite often when searching for food or mates, they just pass through. Snakes don’t want to be anywhere near people or pets. Snakes just want to be left alone. Most backyards are too noisy and busy for a snake to feel safe. If you see a snake on your property on a number of occasions and feel uneasy call a Snake Catcher for Snake Removal.
